COPPERTOP ENTERPRISES, INC.

Coppertop Enterprises, Inc. specializes in the design, procurement, and delivery of specialized marine fishing gear, particularly pair trawl systems used in scientific research operations. Their technical expertise centers on the fabrication and customization of durable, high-performance trawl nets and associated cordage systems engineered to meet rigorous NOAA/NMFS specifications for deep-sea fish ecology studies. The company demonstrates precision in adhering to complex technical requirements for gear deployed in sensitive oceanographic environments, ensuring structural integrity, minimal environmental impact, and compatibility with research vessel operations. Their capability is distinguished by a focused understanding of fisheries science instrumentation and the demanding physical conditions of pelagic and demersal sampling missions. The contractor has delivered critical equipment to the Department of Commerce, specifically supporting the National Marine Fisheries Service’s Northwest Fisheries Science Center. This relationship indicates a niche role in supplying mission-critical sampling infrastructure for federal marine research programs, suggesting a trusted vendor status within NOAA’s scientific fleet support ecosystem. Their work directly enables data collection for stock assessments and ecosystem monitoring, aligning with NOAA’s conservation and fisheries management mandates. Coppertop’s primary industry focus is in NAICS 314994, which encompasses the manufacturing of rope, cordage, and specialized fabric products for industrial and scientific use. In practice, this translates to producing high-tensile, abrasion-resistant trawl components tailored for marine science applications rather than commercial fishing. The company occupies a highly specialized segment of the marine technology supply chain, serving research institutions that require custom-engineered gear beyond standard commercial offerings. Coppertop Enterprises, Inc. is a small business structured as a 2L entity based in Everson, Washington. While no formal government certifications are listed, their ability to secure and execute a federal research contract demonstrates operational compliance with federal procurement standards. Their geographic positioning in the Pacific Northwest aligns with key NOAA research facilities, suggesting strategic proximity to their primary customer base.
